The wedding was supposed to take place in Fayge's village, Viosk, but the soldiers were already present in the village and took the wedding party away before the ceremony could take place.
"Wait, wait," Shmuel said. His voice was soft but his face was grim. "Remember those guns."
Fayge moved silently into the protection of his arms.
"What about our wedding?" She meant it for his ears alone but Hannah was close enough to him to hear every plaintive syllable.
"We will be married, Fayge. Your father will marry us. Maybe not here, in your shul. Maybe not even under
a wedding canopy."
"Not under a canopy?" Fayge was shocked.
"We will be married, in God's sight," Shmuel said adamantly. "I promise you that nothing will keep us apart."
